Class ProcessPdf

java.lang.Object

net.windward.xmlreport.ProcessReport

net.windward.xmlreport.ProcessPdf

All Implemented Interfaces:

ProcessPdfAPI, ProcessReportAPI, ProcessReportAPIBase

public class ProcessPdf
extends ProcessReport
implements ProcessPdfAPI

This class is the main program that takes a template stream and a datasource and merges them to create a pdf report stream. The way to use this is to construct a ProcessPdf object, set any options (presently none), then call process.
The calling method must close all streams after calling process. process will flush the output (report) stream before returning. If you wish to sign a pdf file using a Verisign certificate, please go to http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/howtosign.html

Method Detail

duplicate

public ProcessReportAPIBase duplicate(java.io.OutputStream out)
                               throws AlreadyProcessedException,
                                      LicenseException,
                                      SetupException

Creates and returns a copy of this object. You may call this before or after calling processData(). You may then call processData() on the created object. You must call this after calling processSetup() and before calling processComplete(). While this mostly does a deep copy, it does not do a deep copy of image data. This will always return a ProcessPdf object.

Specified by:

duplicate in interface ProcessReportAPIBase

Parameters:

out - The stream to write the report to. If null will create a ByteArrayOutputStream.

Returns:

A duplicated report object.

Throws:

AlreadyProcessedException - thrown if call the process steps out of order or call ones other than data twice.

LicenseException - thrown if the license licenseKey check fails. The message will list the license check that failed.

SetupException

loadFonts

public static void loadFonts(int fontLevel)

getReportType

public int getReportType()

Get the report format of the output stream.

Specified by:

getReportType in interface ProcessPdfAPI

Specified by:

getReportType in interface ProcessReportAPIBase

Returns:

The type (format) of the output report. Will be TYP_PDF.

getReportTypeString

public java.lang.String getReportTypeString()

Get the report format of the output as a string.

Specified by:

getReportTypeString in interface ProcessReportAPIBase

Returns:

"pdf"

isPageBasedReport

public boolean isPageBasedReport()

true if the generated report is page based. PDF & printer output.

Specified by:

isPageBasedReport in interface ProcessReportAPIBase

Overrides:

isPageBasedReport in class ProcessReport

Returns:

true if the generated report is page based.

setFontLevel

public void setFontLevel(int level)

Set the font level. Basically a higher font level means a more accurate final pdf file - but also a large one. The choices are:

• 0 - Will only use the Acrobat internal fonts which are Helvetica (Arial), Times-Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Zapfdingbats. All fonts will be mapped to one of these five fonts.
• 1 - (default) Will use the font specified in the template but will not embed the font itself in the pdf file. This adds very little to the size of the final file. However, if Acrobat cannot create a font for the filename specified, it will not display the final file.
• 2 - Will use the font specified in the template and will embed the font in the final pdf file. This will provide the most accurate final pdf file and all fonts can be rendered. However, it makes the final file a lot larger.

Specified by:

setFontLevel in interface ProcessPdfAPI

Parameters:

level - The font level. Can be 0 - 2.

getFontLevel

public int getFontLevel()

Get the font level. Basically a higher font level means a more accurate final pdf file - but also a large one. The choices are:

• 0 - Will only use the Acrobat internal fonts which are Helvetica (Arial), Times-Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Zapfdingbats. All fonts will be mapped to one of these five fonts.
• 1 - Will use the font specified in the template but will not embed the font itself in the pdf file. This adds very little to the size of the final file. However, if Acrobat cannot create a font for the filename specified, it will not display the final file.
• 2 - Will use the font specified in the template and will embed the font in the final pdf file. This will provide the most accurate final pdf file and all fonts can be rendered. However, it makes the final file a lot larger.

Specified by:

getFontLevel in interface ProcessPdfAPI

Returns:

The font level. Will be 0 - 2.

setCompressionLevel

public void setCompressionLevel(int level)

Set the compression level. Basically a higher compression level means a smaller final pdf file - but also a longer processing time. The choices are:

• 0 - No compression. Fine for small files and where bandwidth is not an issue and processing time is.
• 1 - (default) Fast compression. Will perform any compression that reduces the final file size significantly and does not take that much processing time. This provides a good balance between processing time and file size.
• 2 - Maximum compression. Will compress everything with the best compression algorithm for each block. This will take significant processing time but will produce the smallest final file. Best for situations where bandwidth is a major issue.

Specified by:

setCompressionLevel in interface ProcessPdfAPI

Parameters:

level - The compression level. Can be 0 - 2.

getCompressionLevel

public int getCompressionLevel()

Get the compression level. Basically a higher compression level means a smaller final pdf file - but also a longer processing time. The choices are:

• 1 - (default) Fast compression. Will perform any compression that reduces the final file size significantly and does not take that much processing time. This provides a good balance between processing time and file size.
• 2 - Maximum compression. Will compress everything with the best compression algorithm for each block. This will take significant processing time but will produce the smallest final file. Best for situations where bandwidth is a major issue.

Specified by:

getCompressionLevel in interface ProcessPdfAPI

Returns:

The compression level. Will be 0 - 2.
